Thu, 25 Jul 2013 22:11:23 +0000robbieh5188285@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>I,m back at Redruth on Sat. For the week. last time on the coast to coast trail I went through an old quarry of some sort which looked like it could be fun for a bit of a ride round . Also a lot of bits of Singletrack in Tehidy woods but I.m not sure how much there is there.

<p>Tis a bit stiff isn't it. Fortunately the second time round I'd snapped my mech off and was coasting/pushing/pumping back so missed it out...

Thu, 25 Jul 2013 21:27:16 +0000orena455188117@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Yeah it's good fun on a CX bike for the most part. Only the top section of the final red descent (Hell's Teeth) is a bit uncomfortable with the loose rocky-slatey surface <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":-D" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p>julianwilson on "Riding round St Ives Cornwall"http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/riding-round-st-ives-cornwall#post-5188106
Thu, 25 Jul 2013 21:23:19 +0000julianwilson5188106@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>the hells teeth downhill section would be 'interesting' on a cx bike (there is a blue option that avoids this and the bastid climb to it), all the rest including the other red bit is definitely 100mm (singlspeed!) hardtail or rigid territory. Great trail, mind, and nice cakes too.

Not sure whether he's on here but the chap there is a mountain biker and can probably give you some local tips. Fab cafe too... brilliant burgers!

<p>Very welsh feel to it. Short though, three laps was about right for a decent ride.

Wed, 24 Jul 2013 22:21:42 +0000orena455184827@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Some DH tracks very near St Ives, search YouTube for Rosewall. Plenty of stuff around Poldice valley between Redruth and Bissoe that's worthy of the Five, or head up to the new trail centre at Cardinham Woods near Bodmin.</p>
<p>Probably best seeing of you can hook up with either Penwith MTB or Cornish Trailriders, both are on Facebook I think (CTR are definitely, not sure about PMTB though).
